I got a haircut and a beard trim today and felt cute, but I feel like an actual goblin when I try to take selfies. And I feel like it's weird to just send a couple to a friend and ask, "Hey, am I ugly?" lmao

    Yes absolutely - and anyway the person in the photos isn't me, it's just a representation of me by a machine, but the person in the mirror is me... right? Or is that just the representation of me by my own eyes/the mirror...

    Is the only true "me" the one that other people see?

      Good mirrors are pretty accurate, the problem is that they ... mirror the image. Your face isn't perfectly symmetrical. So you'll never look the same in the mirror as you would if you could look directly at your face. Kinda fucked up to think about.
